Good, glad I wasted 7 minutes of your life then. I feel complete on the inside.

PS. Im still jealous!

You have 6 gears and a 9k redline. I have 5 gears and a 6500 redline. Huge difference. I needed 3rd gear often. I was doing 60-70 on some of the longer sections.

I was sitting on my redline in 2nd almost the entire road, except in the middle part of the video where I kept it in 3rd for a minute.

The video is looks alot slower than the run really was. You can hear my tires squeal in parts of the vids. I'm running 255-40-17 NT05's on all 4 corners, so I was pushing. I was also rubbing the hell out of the front tires.

Haha thanks, it was a blast. Even more so than last year. I heard you dont have the S2k any more. That really sucks hard. Hopefully you can get something worth taking up there soon!

Haha yeah me and 2 friends went up there for a few days to do nothing but drive all the awesome roads in the area. I think we covered 600+ miles of roads in the 2 full days we were there. My car is really boring in florida since I have a Stock KA with an exhuast so I've been itching to put it to good use. Plus I just got it put back together after I wrecked it last november.

I'd run the shit out of these turns, they are sweet!

where's that exactly?

and thumbs down to camera pictures, they always look slower than you actualy were......I have some videos from Nürburgring and a Hillclimb track, when I sit there and watch them I also think "damn that looks sooo slow!"
